Customer Review: Nice vehicle kit
Summary: 5 Stars
I received the stiletto as a xmas gift and was confused at first why I'd need a car kit for a portable satellite radio. I guess I'm still a bit confused, because the unit in my opinion should work as a "portable" device. Oh well.
My next question was.... If I get the car kit, do I truly have to install the antenna? Would it be good enough to just set the antenna puck on my dash board or rear shelf? First let me say, using the Stilleto in my car (in Illinois) *without* the car kit sucked. It was truly a test of my patience, as I could hardly make it through a song with "Aquiring Signal" showing up on my unit. I rate this frustration right up their with untangling shoelaces or xmas lights!
After trying for a few weeks to use the Stiletto in my car without the car kit, and having great patience, I decided to purchase the SLV1. I've had the kit now for about 2 weeks and so far I've been very happy with it. I didn't professionally install the antenna yet, but just have the puck sitting on my dashboard. So far not a single interrupted song or program.
I found a local installer, who quoted me about $60-65 to install the vehicle kit. At this point, I'm not sure if I'm going to have it more permanently installed as I'm getting a great signal.
I still haven't found the optimal place to "mount" the base of the unit in my car, and that might be part of my hesitation of getting it permanently installed. I don't like the MANY wires and would like to figure out how to best hide them, and tuck them away. There are three wires going to my unit (audio, power, and antenna), and some of these cables are real long, especially the antenna. But, you certainly need a long antenna cable if you're permanently installing the unit.
I use the audio output, I've heard lots of folks complain about the FM transmitter. I agree that a direct audio input is probably best.
One thing I think would be ideal, is a "kit" that could be used both in my car AND in my house. When I got the Stiletto I was hoping for more of a portable solution. I really like the features of Stiletto. They did a good design job. If you're debating getting the SLV1, get it. You'll be glad. I didn't really think I'd need or use the remote control since the unit is pretty much at arms length, but it's nice having the remote as you are less distracted when changing channels, and your arm can be resting on your center console while pressing keys rather than reaching out to keep pressing keys.
